In Cairo I meet a lot of fantastic musician. A special one is Ahmad Elsawy, a young oud player with whom I started an exchange and collaboration.

That is a complete reportage: red sea, museum, um kulthum, festival, ramadan, beit el oud, shehata...
Definetely you are inviting all of us to do the same thing: to go to Masr also in shah allah to get a bath of red sea, museum, um kulthum, musicians, artist, festival, celebrations, oud, ouds and more ouds and buy an oud fm Maestro Shehata...

Mabrouk yr new oud, it has the shape of moroccan ouds, i mean more extended than fat, i do not know how to explain.
And why doubling the last bass string.??
I like this oud, simple, one rosette, extended fingerboard andbig pickguard, and of course, ebony.
Thank you for this post

I'm struggling not to get envious or jealous ... :mad:

But, kidding aside, it really shows that you have a wonderful time. May this always be the case.

Cheers.
